Okay this is not a question that you could receive an answer on without anyone knowing your particular situation. It depends on where you live, the cost of living there, your values, the sacrifices you are willing to make or not make. I have seen copies made it off of one income which was $40,000 and less. Then, I have seen others who required a whole more. You have to look at what your desires are. Do you require two cars, if so what type of cars? What type of house do you desire to live in? The cost of that home? Are you one who requires frequent visits to the shops and etc. You have to factor that in. There are too many factors involved that no one can simply give you an amount. You and your spouse can figure this out together, if you sit down and talk about what will work best for the two of you.

You need to eat, have a place to live and have clothing and if you don't want a lot of pressure and hardship you need income to cover all of this and other things like , maybe pregnancy, medicine, vehicles and their taxes and insurances and other costs, and of course, some money to go out or have a pizza delivered once in a while and cable and a phone would be nice. So, it takes a lot. It depends on where you live as to what the cost of living is. Heating and cooling isn't cheap and water and electricity is good to have too. So, figure it out. Ask your family who are married or have a home what it costs. You must be living someplace...what does it cost you to live? Well, being married would at least double it if you are paying for everything. If not it will be much more. Money problems are the number one reason for divorce today. Stress from not having what you need or from having to
worry about debt is not easy to live with.

A successful married life should have nothing to do with money!
If you LOVE the person you married, then you will have a successful marriage, regardless of money.
If you married that person and wondering if money will keep it together, you will eventually get a divorce.

A sucessful marriage is based on love, respect and support for one another...money is just an extra.

Doesn't matter. The ability to live within your means and not create the stress that is often the cause of many divorces today. Go to councelling before you tie the not - make sure you and your partner have the same expectations of where your lives are going. TALK BEFORE YOU WALK - down the isle!

Money shouldn't be important if you love each other.
Obviously if there are money difficulties or if one of the partners spends more than what the other sees as their fair share things can get tense...best just to talk things through if this happens though.
Hope this helps :)

Money will help lesson worries but it is not the key to a happy and successful marriage. Patience, compromise and understanding will be more useful tools.

A successful marriage isn't based on money. You will argue over it no matter how much you make.

Enough to pay the bills and to occasionally but regularly enjoy the things that you want to do in life.
